    Betty, a dear cousin. Actually she is my mom's 1st cousin but She is the same age as my oldest brother they were born 1 day apart delivered by the same doctor in TN.. So she was closer in age to us kids. Betty you will be missed by so many. You were a great servant of our Lord Jesus Christ. I know you are resting in His arms. ❤

    Betty was part of our family for more than sixty years, and I loved her dearly. She was a wonderfully supportive preacher's wife to my brother Kenneth. She was a sweet sister-in-law to me. She often shared updates of the great grandchildren with me; she loved them and all the family so much. She leaves another empty spot in our lives, but I believe she is with Kenneth again and the Lord. How wonderful! The Wilson Family, Billy and Kay, Linda, Joan, Jeff and Joan, and Vickey. With Love.

    Betty was my Sunday school teacher for many years at Southside church of Christ while Ken was preaching there, as well as my counselor at Camp Wabashi many summers when Ken was the director. She influenced me tremendously in every way. My dad, Kenny, and her husband, Ken, were best friends while at Southside, and I rejoice at Betty being reunited with them both. Betty and I had reconnected many years ago and had talked and texted often. I will miss her terribly, but it makes my heart happy that she is where she lived her life to be!
